Care of Angora Fiber Yarn: Angora is best hand washed in lukewarm to cold water with a gentle wool wash such as “Soak”. Gently squeeze out excess moisture, roll in a towel to release more moisture and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sun. In order to ensure the surface remains fluffy a teasel brush can be carefully used to fluff up the fabric after washing although a natural “halo” will develop with normal wear and washing.
